Many Hearts, One Farm

Main Stay's mission is to enrich mind, body and spirit through powerful connections with horses, animals and nature.

A Therapeutic Farm Since 1984

Located on a pristine knoll overlooking hundreds of acres of dedicated conservation land, Main Stay’s adaptive/therapeutic riding program was one of the first of its kind in Chicagoland. Main Stay expanded service in 2012 to include our unique Animal Assisted Learning programs for individuals, families and groups.
